Scope 1 and 2 emissions
Type | Description | 2020 | 2023 | 2024 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Scope 1 | Gross Scope 1 GHG emissions (MT CO2e) | 386,000 | 370,000 | 354,000 |
Gases included in the | CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 | |||
Base year | 2020 | |||
Consolidation approach | Corteva’s reporting excludes sites where we have less than 50% operational control, as these do not meet our definition of operational control. Corteva excludes most office and administrative buildings (aside from our global business centers) and dedicated warehouses (with no additional onsite operations) as they are immaterial for our total GHG footprint. | |||
Source of emissions factors and | Since 2020, we’ve adopted The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) or "GHG Protocol" to guide our emission data collection and calculation methodologies, U.S. EPA Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database, and U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. The GHG Protocol is our overarching framework for Scope 1, 2, and 3 data. Emission factors and CO2e calculation methodologies have generally been derived from U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. | |||
Scope 2 | Gross Scope 2 GHG emissions (MT CO2e) | 609,000 | 561,000 | 558,000 |
Gases included in the | CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 | |||
Base year | 2020 | |||

Source of emissions factors and | For Scope 2, we use a blended location-based and market-based methodology approach. Since 2020, we’ve adopted The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition) or "GHG Protocol" to guide our emission data collection and calculation methodologies, U.S. EPA Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database, and U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. The GHG Protocol is our overarching framework for Scope 1, 2 and 3 data. Emission factors and CO2e calculation methodologies have generally been derived from U.S. EPA Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule and the U.S. EPA eGRID. |
Scope 3 emissions
Type | Description | 2020 | 2023 | 2024 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Scope 3 | Gross Scope 3 GHG emissions (MT CO2e) | 7,047,000 | 6,190,000 | 5,451,000 |
Gases included in the | CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 | |||
Base year | 2020 | |||
Consolidation approach | Emissions are presented by Scope 3 Category in alignment with the GHG Protocol: Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard. The emission sources included in Corteva’s current Scope 3 GHG inventory include Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9. | |||
Greenhouse gas emissions data and net sales for the period ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 utilized in the intensity calculation excludes the impact from the biologicals acquisitions. |
